Everyone is on social media sites these days. It is simply a great way to connect and reconnect with other people. Which social networks are earning the most? Which of those sites are bringing in the most money?
While it is difficult to get the actual revenue that these sites bring, it is pretty safe to say that whichever has the most number of visitors will attract the most number of advertisers. After all, advertising is all about delivering your message and reaching the most number of people. So based on the number of monthly unique visitors, the following are the highest earning social media sites.
1. Facebook
Who doesn’t know the story of Facebook? It was already immortalized in the movie The Social Network and numerous worldwide people are already members of this site with the numbers growing daily. Mark Zuckerberg created the site in 2004 and it has grown by leaps and bounds since then. It has about 750 million unique visitors every month.
2. Twitter
Twitter is a social networking site that allows members to microblog, meaning messages should be in 140 characters or less. These messages are called tweets. Jack Dorsey created the site in 2006 and it became instantly popular. Twitter generates over 340 million tweets every day, as well as 1.6 billion queries. It has 250 million unique visitors every month.
3. LinkedIn
LinkedIn is the social networking site for the businessman and other professionals. The site was launched in 2003 and boasts of members from more than 200 countries and territories. It is reported to have 225 million users. It has 110 million unique visitors every month.
4. Pinterest
Pinterest is a social networking site that allows members to share photos in a pinboard-style look. Images can then be managed by events, hobbies or interests. Members can also repin pictures of other users. Established in 2010, Pinterest has 85.5 million unique visitors every month.
5. MySpace
MySpace is a social networking site that was established in 2003. During the mid-2000′s, MySpace actually was the most visited social networking site in the world. The advent of Facebook slowly ate up MySpace’s dominance and its membership has since declined. It has undergone several restarts and redesigns, however, with pop artist Justin Timberlake buying into the company to help relaunch the service. It seems to be working as the site is recording 70.5 million unique visitors every month.

Become a Racing Car Driver With The Vesaro Simulator
Do you dream of being a race car driver? Of course you do, who among us hasn’t found themselves flipping channel to Formula One and feeling just the slightest prick of jealousy? Well, thanks to the Vesaro Racing Simulator, those dreams can now become a reality – or, at least as close to reality as you’re likely to get in the comfort of your living room.
The Versaro basically does what it says on the tin: for a fee, the company will ship you a medley of equipment that allows you to transform your living room into a high-speed thrill cage (to the presumed delight of your spouse). Featuring a state of the art simulator chair in its cheapest package – with upgrades including a wall of monitors and more extras than most actual race cars possess – the concept is edifyingly simple. Simply plonk yourself in the race car replica chair, turn up the sound and prepare yourself for an afternoon living out your boyhood fantasies.
However, this no-nonsense concept conceals an array of technology so complex it’d make a NASA spaceflight technician’s mouth water. Aside from the in-depth design of the chair itself (or ‘rig’ in company parlance) the extras include Logitech THX 5.1 surround sound; three Samsung 40-inch flat screen TVs; a DBOX motion physics simulator to give realistic movement feedback; and a glorious extra known as the Buttkicker Tactile Feedback System – a sort of wall-shaking subwoofer that delivers a rumble effect guaranteed to unseat your coccyx. In short, this baby is loud, proud and violent – a hulking bruiser of a gaming system reeling out of a high class London nightclub, bottle of half-finished Don Perignon in one hand; looking for a good time.
So what systems is it compatible with? Well, the Vesaro works with PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – in short, it kicks ass on any system you care to mention. The PC version even comes with a little extra thrown in: a three month membership with iracing.com; an online MMG with over 40,000 subscribers for you to test your mettle against on realistically-rendered real-life courses: including the Daytona, Bristol and Kentucky Speedways. Not that non-PC gamers should be jealous: the excellent compatibility the Vesaro provides transforms even the most-mundane of console racing simulators into a hair-raising adventure. And when hooked up to a decent game… well, let’s just say that you won’t be popping down the local boozer to see your mates of a Wednesday evening anytime soon.
Now, there are a number of packages Vesaro are offering on this – ranging from a comparatively affordable 2.5 grand to a high-end, luxury $46,000 deal. At its most simple, you get the rig on its own; designed to be plugged into your pre-owned console and set up in front of your own telly. As you move up the pay-scale, things like 3 new 40-inch flat-screen TVs become standard and the experience becomes more and more life-like. Super-charged PC systems, two replica F1 and BMW GT wheels, Clubsport V2 pedals and fine-tuned adaptors are all part of the ultimate package; along with that Butt kicker thing, Quad motion and TH8RS gearshift. In short, the full deal is kind of like having your own personal race car, only without the attendant hassle of having to pay for parking and keep the neighbourhood kids away.

Kim Kardashian Buy 11 Million Dollar Mansion
Kim Kardashian Buy 11 Million Dollar Mansion |
In most recent news, twelve weeks pregnant Kim and Kanye purchased an 11 million dollar Mediterranean-style home, located in a private gated community in Bel Air California. According to TMZ, Kim and Kanye’s neighbors include Jennifer Aniston, Chris Paul creator of “Girls Gone Wild” and Joe Francis a film producer.
According to the listing, the house sits on 3/4 of an acre lot, at the end of the street, which means the couple will have no neighbors living behind them, giving them a chance for some privacy for their soon to be family of three.
According to TMZ, the couple has planned to spruce up the 10,000 square foot mansion by expanding the current structure, adding 4,000 square feet which will include amenities better suited to their extravagant lifestyle, such as a movie theater, gym, basketball court, bowling alley, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The home will also include a full makeup and hair salon, and let’s not forget about a nursery!
The kitchen opens to the backyard, which holds a swimming pool, barbecue and plenty of space to unwind and enjoy the beautiful California weather.
The question still remains whether or not the couple will be walking down the aisle any time soon, as Kim and Brooklyn Nets player Kris Humphries are still not divorced, even though they have been separated for a year-and-a-half. For now it seems as though buying a house to fashion into a home is a good way to cement a long standing future together.

The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to the royal baby at Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital on July 23 at 16:24 BST. The baby, who happens to be a boy, weighs 8lb 6oz. The luxury suite was also the same room where Prince William and Prince Harry were born as well as their cousins Peter and Zara Phillips. Sources said William stayed by Kate’s side until the delivery process.
The lavish room boasts of a satellite TV, Internet, radio, bedside phone and refrigerator and newspaper of choice, with excellent food catering service. The Duchess also has complete access to the hospital’s National Health Service facilities.
According to reports, the room requires a deposit worth nearly $9,000 and an additional $1,560 cost for an added one day stay. The Royal couple was reported to have spent nearly $16,000 for the hospital bill.
On July 24, everyone had a glimpse of the Royal baby when the couple went out of the hospital, with Kate carrying the newest addition to the Royal Kingdom. Kate donned a blue polka dot Jenny Packham dress.
Everyone from the Royal Family still keeps mum about the baby’s name. William is a beaming father when he said, “We’ll have it as soon as we can. But it’s the first time we’ve seen him really so we’re having a proper chance to catch up.”

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner and young wife Crystal Harris’ nuptial was one of the most glamorous Hollywood weddings this year.
The two tied the knot in an expensive wedding at the Playboy mansion on New Year’s Eve.

The 26-year-old Crystal donned a Cinderella-like, strapless gown. It was designed by Romona Keveza and matched with the shoes designed by Aruna Seth.
It was reported that the total budget for the wedding is estimated to be $750,000 to $1 million, including the strawberry cake, the meal, flowers and catering. Adding to that are the fireworks worth over $30,000. The catering cost was already cut and a bit cheaper because the production team was from the Playboy mansion.
Moreover, Hugh also gave Crystal a $1 million 1.5 karat diamond ring as an engagement ring. The diamond alone already costs $500,000. Crystal had called off their wedding in 2011 and sold her engagement ring for $90,000.

Crystal is also reported to be putting her wedding gown to auction. It is in honor of the death of Playboy mansion’s loyal secretary Mary O’Connor. All the proceeds will go the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society under the name of Mary. The charity, in memory of Mary, aims to raise money for lymphoma victims.
Mary had been a long-time assistant in the mansion for over 40 years. She was also the reason for Hugh and Cyrstal’s reconciliation last year. Individuals have started bidding for the dress online.
Lately, Hugh reportedly purchased a $5 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills as gift for Crystal on their wedding.
However, an insider has said that Crystal signed an iron clad pre-nup before wedding.
